Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Oakleaf, Orange Park

Why should I see a cosmetic dentist for all of my dental needs?

Cosmetic dentistry includes many general dentistry solutions, such as white fillings and tooth crowns, but always aims for the most beautiful results. Dr. Blankenship offers full service dentistry in Ponte Vedra and Oakleaf, Jacksonville, Florida, so your care is streamlined with no need for overlapping procedures. When you work with a cosmetic dentist for all of your dental need, he has in-depth knowledge of your dental history and your unique needs.

What can cosmetic dentistry do for me?

Cosmetic dentistry can give you a smile that is both beautiful and healthy. A beautiful smile can boost your self confidence, improve your social standing, and even improve your job opportunities. It has been shown that dental veneers have a direct impact on careers in the sales industry. By addressing any underlying dental problems, cosmetic dentistry can relieve pain and preserve your dental health for years to come.

Cosmetic dentistry can give you the smile you have always wanted or the beautiful smile that you used to have. Dull or stained teeth can be whitened; chips and cracks can be repaired; unsightly metal fillings can be replaced with tooth colored fillings. You can even choose a total Smile Makeover to revamp your entire smile and solve all of your cosmetic dental problems in a coordinated way.

Will my smile still look natural after cosmetic dentistry?

Yes. Most people have seen tacky-looking cosmetic dental work and are afraid that they will have the same results. The truth is that when cosmetic dentistry is done by a qualified and experienced dentist like Dr. Blankenship, it is not something you “see”. It just looks like a gorgeous, healthy smile. The materials used will match your natural tooth color and blend in undetectably. And the design will be unique and right for your facial shape and other personal characteristics. Dr. Blankenship will develop a unique and personally tailored plan to fit each patient’s needs and desires.

How long do the results of cosmetic dentistry last?

That depends on the type of procedure and how you care for your teeth. Restorations, such as tooth crowns, white fillings, and porcelain veneers, may last a lifetime when created and placed by a skilled cosmetic dentist and his expertly trained team and then well-cared-for with good dental hygiene and routine dental follow-up.

I am interested in cosmetic dentistry, but I am very afraid of going to the dentist. Can you help me get past that fear?

We understand anxiety about dental visits and procedures and Dr. Blankenship offers Sedation Dentistry with oral medications to help his patients relax. We also have headphones to help reduce the noise, and you can watch television or a movie, or listen to music. Those things help to keep your mind off of the dentistry being performed. Our office is a serene environment where you can relax and be comfortable.
